Stella (born Stella Maynes Maxwell; 15 May 1990) is the Queen consort of Australia as the wife of Miranda, Queen of Australia. Formerly a Victoria's Secret Angel for the American lingerie brand, Victoria's Secret, Stella, following the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Australia in 2017, married Queen Miranda, thereby becoming the first royal consort of the Federation of Australia, and the first LGBT royal consort in Australian history.
Born in Brussels, Belgium, Stella first gained fame as a model for Victoria's Secret, for whom she made her debut appearance in 2014, before later becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel the following year. In addition, Stella also posed for a number of fashion brands and designers including Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, and Topshop, while also walking for a number of brands such as Jeremy Scott, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Versace.
Having personally identified as queer and sexually fluid, Stella began dating fellow Victoria's Secret Angel and later Queen of Australia, Miranda Kerr, with the couple eventually marrying on 31 December 2017 sometime after same-sex marriage was effectively legalised in Australia that same month. In November 2019, Stella gave birth to a son, Maurice, whose father was not identified.
